Played Lady Bay today, really forgot how magnificant the course is.

I'm currently on holidays up on the Gold Coast, playing some of the finest golf courses in the land of oz. Played at Bonville International Golf Course (near Coffs Harbour) on Wednesday and shot a very pleasing 80 off the stick (my handicap is 5). If anyone is planning a golfing trip up north, I recommend playing a round at Bonville. It truly is an amazing layout.

On Friday I made the journey up to the (not so sunny) Gold Coast and played at Hope Island near Sanctuary Cove. Another amazing layout, but with many more fairway bunkers and undulations than Bonville. After being 6 over after 7 holes, I managed to go even par for the final 11 holes (with 3 birdies) to shoot a six over par 78. $140 a game at hope island, but with GPS in the golf carts to help with distances and pin locations, it was definitely worth it   :)

Tomorrow is the final leg of my tour, where I play Palm Meadows Resort near Carrara. I'm hoping for another sub 80 round   8)

about a year ago i picked up a secondhand golf set and bag in what i thought was pretty good condition, paid $60 bucks oh baby u think i was happy bout it.  even though i hate em with a passion it was from cashies. absolute bargain.
  try to get out  as often as possible, but it never seems often enough,  100 shots seems to be the magical mark for me atm, so whats that around 30 handicap.  if only i could putt i reakon i could take 10 shots off my score,  nothing worse then getting on green in reg. than 4 putt  arhhhhhhh the pain, the pain.  its sad when a bogey gives ya a chubby  :)

We had them when my mate and myself played at Lady Bay, absolutely worth the extra dollars if the course has them.

Not so sure about that Wes  :-\

I played last Saturday and had a promising front 9 with 17 points and no scrubs - finished with 24 points, nuff said  >:(

Any time you want Wes, PM me and we can hook up - I'm a member at Highercombe or maybe you'd prefer if I arranged a game with me an the ol' man who is a member at Tea Tree Gully.

Pretty sure we're playing Par, which I like when you're not in consistent form. Hoping I can shoot a +2 with the new indexes at least  :-\
